Epic love stories and relationships as depicted in pop culture, though it rarely turns out like that in real life.
The Mirror Of Mockery
The Nature Of The Mirror Mockery has become the native language of the modern world. It fills screens, floods comment sections, and echoes through every arena where ideas are exchanged. What once required substance now survives through sarcasm. To ridicule is easier than to reason.

The Logic of Faith: Why Reason Without God Collapses Under Its Own Weight
The Myth Of Neutral Logic Modern thinkers often claim that logic is neutral, belonging to no belief system and standing above faith. They insist that religion is emotional, while reason is empirical.

Men, Periods, and Power
This is not a metaphor. This is not an exaggeration. This is blood and nerve and truth. This is about how male narcissistic abusers weaponize a woman’s menstrual cycle – ovulation, bleeding, vulnerability, energy – and use it as a system of control.

The War on Order
We live in a time when doing the right thing often feels like an act of rebellion. When honesty can ruin a career. When decency is mocked as naïve. When standing for truth invites hatred, censorship, and isolation. Somehow, the people who uphold virtue have become the villains in the story of modern culture.

The Death of “Live and Let Live”
There was a time when “live and let live” actually meant something noble. It meant respecting each other’s differences, coexisting in peace, and not forcing our personal views onto our neighbors.
